why is it they won't put the turbo engine they have in the solstice/sky into the aura? i had a ride in the normal astra they sell here and it felt lacking in the power dept.  | |

European prices are not at parity with the North American market. I wonder what that would actually cost if it were sold here. I like it.

ASTRA VXR/ OPC is a GOOD car.
Built quaility is good.
I do not know why GM doesn't bring this sport model here.
They only have the SATURN ASTRA, no turbo model or anything...

I love the Astra.. They're super cheap too! you can get a 3dr top of the line for $18k (there'a $5000 cash incentive right now).. Too bad there's no sunroof option on the 3dr

They should drop Saturn and bring the Opel brand into North America. Even though european Opels are rebadged as Saturn here i, as well as others, have always had a negative perception of Saturn. I'm sure they would be able to convert some Honda customers over to them.

oh yea, mercury, good call
i dont think they even carry mercury here anymore,
it seems so redundant to carry the exact same models that they make as ford/lincoln except to include minor changes

Not that I was sad to see them go in Canada those many years ago
